Zansley Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 Hey everyone. I'm a Vocal Performance major at Georgia Regents University and I am in my Junior year of voice study. My voice teacher (of 12 years, I am 27) suggested that I am ready to move into the realm of Wagner, and I just performed a recital of O Du mein holder Abenstern and Warm as the Autumn Light. I am looking for some feedback. I realize that I made some mistakes in my German, and I am smoothing those over now. One of my biggest questions is regarding the amount of 'bite' I have on my sound. Is that generally considered desirable? Is it overshadowed by the formant frequency that my voice creates? How is my sense of line? Any and all pointers/tips/insight would be appreciated. Thanks in advance! Oh, and sorry about the Wagner being sideways. My camera-girl was confused at first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jugulator Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 Very good performance. Are you a low baritone? The only drawback that I can hear in this recording is that you push some notes a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm either going to be a bass baritone or a lyric baritone because of how my voice acts in my passagio. I currently feel more comfortable in my midrange, particularly between Ab and Db, but from what I learned that is pretty typical for a developing baritone. When you say it sounds like I push, do you mean in my high range or low range? Any places in particular? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jugulator Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 By pushing I mean that the onset of some of your notes is a bit forced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
